  Speaker 1: Danielle Stein more than capable of picking up the slack
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: covering day one of camp. She was there during the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: sad Nick scot In injury, and she joins us here
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to talk panthers on the Mac and Bone Show. Danielle,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: what a coworker, What a partner to work with. You
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: must be thank you for coming on. How you doing?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I'm great and I'll be honest with you. With the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: rain yesterday, I was pretty jealous of where Nick was
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: posting pictures from the pool in Mexico. But no, we're
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: holding it down. Well he's gone and seems like it's
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit drier today so far at least that's good.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: One, Uh, the big negative, of course, yesterday Nick Scordon
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: goes down.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: What's your reaction to that end?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: How do you think that the loss of score impacts
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the expectation overall, especially on the defensive side, where we've
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: been so high on what they can be.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I think the word everyone's been saying of devastating is
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: really accurate, and it's just one of those injuries where
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you just watch it unfolds and we're all doing that
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and saying, really, like this guy, this is someone this
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: feeling is so high for Nick is just so awesome. Like, really,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite conversations that I had all of
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: last season would be getting to talk to him. He
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: was always reliable to talk to, and he delivered on
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the field too, Like his words backed it up. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: actually just re listened back to when we talked to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: him during OTAs just a couple months ago, and he
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: was talking to us about how he was doing so
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: much off season work. He was even training with Micah
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Parson's trainer over in Texas. So he was really looking
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: forward to taking another step forward, which already was great,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you know, co leading the team in sacks just last year.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Doing that as a rookie is awesome. So the expectation
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: was that with him and Jalen Phillips together that it
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: was going to be a really good tandem. But it
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: just kind of feels like such a gut punch, especially
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: as we're now starting to see, Okay, these injuries starting
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to creep up a little bit more and more, especially
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: on that defensive side. Right now between we're seeing Turk Wharton,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Bobby Brown, a couple questions there. J C. Horns seems
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: like he'll be fine soon, but we don't have eyes
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: on him in action just yet. So just a little
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: bit more of a red flag of where this defense
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: could be compared to where we sat. They could be
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: coming in with this expectation of oh, it's a big
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: step forward getting these two big guys and Devin Lloyd
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and Jalen Phillips, like this is the group, so we're
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: gonna see what they're going to be doing moving forward.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Danielle, I know you work, you know, fifty gazillion times
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: harder than us. So you have seen Devin Lloyd, You've
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: seen Jalen Phillips throughout the off season while Bone and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I eat chips on the couch.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: So I need to.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Lean on your on your expert take what you're not
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: doing that, Requiner.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What what is your
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: impression Ben of seeing Devin Lloyd? Cameron Wolf was on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: with us Raven about the way he looked yesterday seeing
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd and Philip. What sticks out about those guys.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: There was one moment yesterday that I think I audibly
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: guessed it was a really good looking Jonathan Brook's rush
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and Devin just popped him. It looks like and everyone
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: kind of had that same reaction. He's a strong dude,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and it seems like both of them are really coming
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: in with It's very clear they are veteran guys. They
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: have experience, and it just looks different looking in that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that linebacker room before obviously what happened to Nick, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: was watching how Jalen Phillips was really commanding that group.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: He you know, is breaking off the huddle in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: colops and all that kind of stuff too. So he's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a guy who's coming in here knowing, Hey, I am
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a leader, and I feel like I'm going to show
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that on the field and just in my leadership in
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: general too. These two guys are going to be really impactful.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Brazl had another wow play yesterday, another one that didn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: naturally count, but we'll take it anyway here. How immediately
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: impactful do you think the young wideout could be for
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: this offense?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was very pretty and it was funny because
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: obviously it was a twofold good on good with how
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Mike Jack was able to defend him as well too.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Mike Jack obviously is awesome once again, especially right now
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: we're not seeing JC. But yeah, Brasli looks good. It
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: sounds like he got some really good off season work
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in two and that receiver room right now, it's definitely
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it's definitely full. So we're gonna be seeing how it's
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: gonna be kind of hierarchically filling itself out, I guess
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: if you will. So obviously there's t mac and obviously
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: there's Jalen Cocher, but the way the rest of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: chips are going to fall is going to be pretty interesting.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Brasl's making a good case for himself so far. He's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: showing he's athletic. We saw that huge leap he had,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: but he made that grab yesterday and he's fast as
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: well too, So I think he'll be another guy that's
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: going to be pretty competitive in that room.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Have you been able to notice that Brooks has a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: different gear than everybody else out there yet or has
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he have? You feel like he hasn't fully opened it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: up yet? What do you see when you watch him
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: run with the ball in these practices?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So I tried to pay particular attention to Brooks yesterday
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: because I had a one on one with him after
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: training ended, so I wanted to, you know, make sure
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I got my video of him and all that kind
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of stuff too. He looked good. And the thing about him,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: it's true he's a dual threat back that he wants
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to be rushing, but he's also making plays and catching
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the ball too, So I think that's another aspect of
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: his game that he really wants to be able to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: bring back that he was really big about in college,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and Dave even talks about that. He does have that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: maybe hope or expectation that they can use him in
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: different types of ways. But he was getting a lot
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of reps with that first team. He looked good, he
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: looked fun. He seems happy, which was really cool. We
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: were talking after the practice and a he said he
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: felt good. But everything is just really positive for him
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: right now. He just said, it feels like I'm living
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: this childhood dream pretty much being out here for my
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: first ever training camp, which is so crazy for a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: third year NFL player to be saying. But everything's not
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: really positive that things are falling into place for him,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So definitely hoping just to see that keep trending up.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: What's your expectation early for Freeling as a rookie on
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the right side.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Do you think he can hit the ground running.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: We'll take a while. What's your gut feel on the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: other news of the week that Tea was out and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: now Freeling is in on the right side to start
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: a season.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously cough, losing both of your starting tackles from
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a year ago to start your season. They brought Freeling
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in for a reason as a first round pick, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they knew in drafting him that he was a guy
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: who can, you know, bring this versatility playing on the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: left or playing on the right, So they did have
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that knowledge of him. It's a little bit, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: knowing that Dan and Dave are saying, Hey, we didn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: really want to do this at first, but we kind
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of feel like our hand is being forced to start
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: him because of the cars we've now been dont so
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Monroe himself seems confident. It's a matter of the rest
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of the staff and how they feel right now, at
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: least about him, because to me, I didn't get the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: biggest boatload of confidence with them being like, well, this
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: is what we've got to do sort of thing. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: just not the overall kind of feeling I would have
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: loved to have heard. But Monroe sounds good, and I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: think it's important to think about Icky a couple of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: years ago. Obviously, he was a top pick himself too
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: when he was drafted, and he went through a lot
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of growing pains. We've seen that example a couple times
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: with Campbell, for example, with the Patriots, who was drafted
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in the first round. They've had all these expectations and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: he put up some stinkers in his first year. So
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: there will be those growing pains, and I don't think
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: it will be perfect, but Monroe seems really eager. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: love that he and Rob seem to have a really
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: good dynamic right now, with Rob supposedly recruiting him to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: join him on the right side, and that's obviously good.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You want them to get along and work well together.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And Rob's a great person to get taken under a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: wing as well too. From so, I think it'll be
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: good to have those guys surrounding Monroe right now. But
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's worth noting there will be growing pains.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, definitely. I'll say this. Ikey's first game was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: against Miles Garrett. He gave up two sacks. Montes sweat
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is good. That's Freeling's first opponent, but it ain't Miles Garrett.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: So that's at least a little bit of good news,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: all right, So Danielle, I gotta end this with it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It was a very serious situation and I was gonna
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: tweet you about this, Danielle. I have been investigating something
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and I have my serious journalism going on here, terrified
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I have.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: You don't even know about this either, I'll do you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I have some knowledge that when Willie P and you
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: went head to heading the Goalie Wars competition at Charlotte
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: f C in the All Star festivities, I have some
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: knowledge that Willie P might have cheated, that he might
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: have got his friends Danielle at Charlotte f C to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: shrink the goal that he had to defend a bit.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I don't think I think you were robbed, all right, listen.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, there was no goal shrinking involved. But
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: what I will say and I'll give I'll give Willy
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: P his credit. But we were just doing like a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: forerfunsies run. During the Goalie Wars. There was a lull
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I want to play again, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that was that was his one wins was during that moment,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So yes, give him the win. It did not count
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: in the score book.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Oh it's interesting.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Proper second place out of tenso and yeah, so you
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: go to the final. I lost, but you.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Know, oh no, I'll tell you.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I never got the news that that wasn't a will
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He acted really acted like he like he won a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just a absolute knockdown drag. Yeah, here we find out
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you were amazing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It was definitely not. I advanced to the finals by
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: default because I was going up against an opponent who
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: was by far the best one. And he was like, oh,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'm tired, don't feel like this anymore. I mean, I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: man like you. That's all taste.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: But no, Willie P put up a great fight in
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: in our game. Again, it was a lull, and I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, I want to play. Who wants to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: play right now?
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Well that was an unofficial win, Willy. That is not
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in the record books. Are you a Did you play soccer?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You seem like like following you and listening to you,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you seem like a soccer person, and I love soccer people.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: What is your Do you have a background?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say like growing up that was a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: sport I played the most used to ref actually, so
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I had a little bit of an insight on that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: But I will say my boyfriend to his soccer so
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I have been living and breathing that part of my
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: life for the last like sixty years. At this point,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: he's actually a goalkeeper coach, and the night before the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Goalie Awards with Charlotte FC, he put me through an
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: hour long training Settle Elementary.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: That's huge, that is huge I had.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I had a good inside knowledge coming into it. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: was I was sweating like anything like this.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: That was a hot week too.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was also tell uh tell Churo that Murphy
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: McNugget says, well, I know they're supposed to have a
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: playdate soon here.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Uh he is just the cutest face I've ever seen.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I love that you brought him home. We loved supporting
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: our shelter boys. Churo was about to turn two next week,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: so we're already preparing for our celebrations. I'm deeply obsessed
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: with my dog as well.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna help bone is. He is getting so
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: stressed out by the I just had a I just
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: had a wound open up over here. I'm bleeding. He's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: not even with me right now.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I will say I missed the puppy phase. I got
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: him at a year so he was already great trains
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and party trains and no nipping like that, so I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: definitely got this guy.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: This guy is a year old, but he's behind. Act
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: like he got rehomed twice, so he's behind in his learning.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, boy was rehomed once too, so that's all right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, all right, Danielle, We
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Keep up the good coverage. Watch her coverage
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Nick when he gets back of camp on w c NC.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And I know you had the Brooks interview posted up
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. What's what's your Twitter hand for folks that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: might want to watch that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Danielle underscore Stein nine. That was awesome yesterday. He
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: was really really cool to chat with. Today, I'm gonna
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: be talking with Trayvon Merrick after campens. He was a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: great last so just another good defensive perspective to get
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: looking forward to that conversation. I did hear that we
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: will be hearing from Pat Jones at the end of
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: camp today. He'll be speaking at the podiumat Cool So
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that will be someone that I think a lot of
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: people are going to want to be hearing from. Given
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the news about Scoorton, as he's probably going to be
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: someone who needs to step up, especially after his year
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: was very much shortened because of the herniated disc that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he went through in the surgery. So he's back and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: it sounds like we'll be hearing a little bit from
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: him today, so you can look forward to that as well.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: All right, Danielle, keep up the good work, thanks for
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: coming on.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys.
